Friendship ebbs and flows with time. Some friends are there for a season, others for a reason, and a few for a lifetime. But when a relationship is no longer working, gracefully letting go can be challenging. It's important to accept and wish the other person well instead of holding onto resentment or hurt. Letting go opens doors to new and rewarding connections, allowing both parties to move in the direction that's best for them. Embracing the transient nature of friendships is vital for personal growth and the pursuit of authentic connections.
